The Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park on each side of the Tennessee-Georgia line has a new superintendent, park officials have announced.

Brad Bennett will be the new superintendent, replacing Cathy Cook.

Regional Park Director Stan Austin said Bennett “has been a great steward of Andersonville and has built great partnerships and coalitions there to help preserve the park and tell its story to the public.”

Austin continued, “We know he will carry that practice forward with outreach to the communities of Chickamauga and Chattanooga.”

Bennett started his career with the park service at Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona and also served at Harpers Ferry in West Virginia, where he did several interpretive media projects with planning and development teams at Manassas National Battlefield Park, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and Selma to Montgomery National Historic Trail.
